The thermochemical acid/base properties of the six dihydroxybenzoic acids (x, y-DHB) as prototypical matrices used in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) have been investigated. The ground-state gas-phase basicities (GB) of the six DHB isomers and the gas-phase acidities (ΔG acid) of the corresponding radical cations ([x, y-DHB].+) have been determined by Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry employing the thermokinetic method. The gas-phase basicities vary from 814 kJ mol− 1 for the least basic isomer, 3, 5-DHB, to 831 kJ mol− 1 for the most basic isomer, 2, 4-DHB. The obtained gas-phase acidities of the corresponding radical cations vary from 815 kJ mol− 1 for the most acidic species, 3, 4-DHB, to 858 kJ mol− 1 for the least acidic one, 2, 5-DHB. The results indicate that ground-state proton transfer from the matrix radical cations to the analyte may play a role in the ionization process of MALDI, whereas proton transfer from protonated matrix molecules can be excluded.
